Hillary Clinton has defied all the polls and won the New Hampshire Primary (by 40-36% with 79 percent of the votes counted.
Apparently she benefited by a strong sympathy vote from women after she was attacked for getting choked up/crying. Edwards came in a distant third at about 17%. Too bad the corporate media and Democratic voters are ignoring Edwards populist campaign to save the Democratic Party from the DLC corporatists. Instead of voting with their emotions, Democratic voters need to consider (a) who is the most progressive candidate to "change" government and (b) who can WIN in 2008 against the GOP. It is NOT Hillary Clinton! I do not HATE Hillary Clinton, but I want the Democrats to win in 2008. Hillary Clinton will galvanize the GOP base and divide the Democrats. Many anti-war progressives will NOT vote for Hillary Clinton and will vote Green Party. I'm afraid we will repeat 2000 and 2004 again. Elections should be about issues, principles and character, NOT a beauty contest. We need a candidate who will FIGHT and stand up to the corporate interests who control both parties and our government.
As John Edwards said, "Thats 2 down, 48 states to go!"
John Edwards!
DSA Growing Strong!
